Pet care with love 🐾

Pet care experience

I am passionate about animals, and I’ve had dogs, cats, bunnies, Guinea pigs, birds and hamsters throughout my life. I’ve worked with rescues since 16yo, what gave me a lot of experience with cats and dogs harmed and in distress c teaching me how to be patient and approach them the best way possible in their own time. What boarding with me looks like: I will love your fur friend as if it was mine. We will have lots of quality time together, full of playtime and cuddles. We will go out for walks or runs and to explore outdoors. I am home most of the day and your fur baby will have one-on-one time, lots of attention and love. Drop in visits: You can tell me everything your fur baby likes to do, even if it might sound silly, and I will try my best to give the same attention as you and to mimic the playtime, to keep they fell more comfortable and happy while you are away.

This is our second time using Kelly for our very spoiled golden retriever. She is amazing, always gives daily photos, and it’s been the best environment for our dog who doesn’t do well with other dogs. I highly recommend Kelly!

Kelly was great! Very dependable, good with animals and communicative. I didnt have to worry about my pets at all while I was on vacation.

Kelly is the greatest! My little dog is a rescue from a puppy mill, and she is still quite shy and nervous with people she does not know. But it was love at first sight with Kelly. She stayed with Kelly for a week, and, if the photos Kelly sent are any indication, my dog had a wonderful “vacation.” They went for multiple walks every day, and Kelly continued with my dog’s tricks training, as I requested. My dog was so tired from all the daily activities that she mostly slept the entire day after I picked her up. I will definitely book with Kelly when I need a sitter again.
